BETH-a-nee; בֵית־תְאֵנָה
(Hebrew) : an Old Testament place name meaning "dwelling place of God."
...there is a meeting place for family and friends, not an institution or group home. Rather than a "facility" for persons with developmental disabilities to spend their time, Bethany Support Services is a place of heart and mind where each person is a whole and unique individual, entitled to dignity, respect and the right to determine his or her own lifestyle.
Utilizing a person-centered process, Bethany provides the appropriate staffing to assist persons to live in a way that fits his or her individual needs, abilities and interests. The result is an improved quality of life through access to opportunities of choice, relationship building and community participation.
